Can black castor oil be used on relaxed hair?

I am not a professional stylist, but both my daughter and I have relaxed hair. We used it and didn't notice any problems. Surprisingly, it was not greasy like I thought it would be. I't is a thick liquid, so don't over do it. We put it on scalp, but a little does get absorbed into the hair shaft making it look shinier & healthier. My daughter used it more than me and she experienced crazy new growth which called for a faster retouch. To me, it smelled bad in the bottle, but when you use it, it doesn't seem as bad on the hair. You get used to it. Try it. Good luck.

I'm not a hair stylist, but I used it on my daughter's hair which is relaxed. We don't use it when the hair is freshly relaxed or flat ironed because it would be a little to heavy and may leave more of an oil residue, but as the relaxer gets older ( appx 4 - 5 weeks old) and hair gets dryer, we apply it sparingly to roots and shaft as needed between shampoos. Helps lubricate new growth and relaxed strands. Don't over do it..rub it between your fingers or palms and thin it out because it pours out thick.

You want to use a brand that does not contain salt. I have relaxed hair and I like the results. Castor oil can be very heavy so I only use a small amount. Tropic Isle brand does not contain salt.

Our castor oil is pure unrefined organic castor oil. Jamaican castor oil is also known as black castor oil. It has other elements added to it. Hope your day is wonderful!

Georgia, I've long stopped relaxing my hair. I'm totally natural with my 4b/4c hair texture. Still, I would recommend Sunny Isle's JBCO for hair that's relaxed. I can't imagine this wonderful product would do any harm. Keep in mind that JBCO is thick so a little goes a long way and the initial smell can be touch off putting BUT the smell does disipate to the point you or others will not be able to smell it. I started using it to fill in my thinning edges and now use it as a hot oil treatment and moisturizer for my entire head. I'm loving the results and I'm sure you will too. My hope is that this will assist you in making your purchase. Take care, L.R. Eppes Georgia, I've long stopped relaxing my hair. I'm totally natural with my 4b/4c hair texture.

This conditioner makes my hair feel very soft and I am African-American. It works on both relaxed and natural hair.

I don't think anything can regrow hair if follicles are dead. I've read of people liking to put castor oil on their hair for growth, but really don't know if there any studies on it. It is rather tacky and personally I would mix it with some other oil, maybe avocado, or maybe perhaps argon oil which people seem to like. Then maybe add a tiny amount of essential oil of rosemary, or some other essentials, but you must do some research on ratio's etc. That is what I would do, but you must explore for yourself.

It is not BLACK castor oil. It is pure castor oil. Black castor is is pure castor oil with castor bean ash added to it. The ash does nothing more than take up volume that you could have gotten more pure castor oil. Get this stuff and add a little organic coconut oil in a dispenser for easier application if using it for hair.

My ethnic hair is relaxed and I LOVE it - my stylist uses it on both my child who is natural and myself. I prefer only the shampoo and 'rinse out' conditioner [I don't care, however, for the leave-in conditioner]. As an aside, I like the Agadir oil prior to blow drying and the spray after flat ironing :)

I have relaxed hair, that is fine. However, my roots often become thick and curly. I love this product because I can put it on 300 degrees, and my hair does not burn. It lasts long and the oil that comes w/ it leaves my hair silky and moisturized without weighing it down.

I mix it with Jamaican black castor oil and I leave it in. The product has a very strong smell so I don't use alot.

Because its castor oil its really heavy, however if you are using it on your edges - maybe due to hair loss or alopecia I would say yes, but if you are using it throughout you hair just know it has the potential to make it very heavy/oily.

Absolutely! Just mix your essential oil with the carrier oil of your choice such as jojoba, castor, or another. I would probably mix 1 oz carrier oil to 5-7 drops of peppermint oil (adjust as necessary) to stimulate blood flow and promote hair growth. I would suggest using at night because of the lingering scent which will fade by morning.

I use it when I don't want to set or flatiron my hair. My hair has relaxer and color, and this works for me.

Definitely. I have not had a relaxer since February. It straightens my hair just fine.

It works fine on my relaxed hair. However it is very heavy so I mix it in my conditioner and when its on my dry hair I apply it with a brush (perm brush) after I part it in sections.
